Artificial general intelligence (AGI) aiming to be applied to the search for extraterrestrial life.getty In today’s column, I explore a fascinating proposition about what we might do once we have progressed conventional AI into becoming AGI (artificial general intelligence). In a post-AGI era, there is a notable task that AGI could substantially help humanity resolve. What is that worthy task? It would be the esteemed search for extraterrestrial life. The usual parlance is the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). We could use our newly invented AGI to be a kind of space alien hunter that finally determines whether there really…
Former Foreign Minister of Colombia Álvaro Leyva said Tuesday that he received threats against himself and his family after he published two letters in recent weeks alleging that far-left President Gustavo Petro suffers from drug addiction problems. Leyva asserted that he will hold Petro responsible for “anything that may happen to me or any member of my family in any context.” Leyva served as Petro’s first foreign minister, taking office in August 2022 when Petro became Colombia’s first leftist president ever. Leyva was succeeded in May 2024 by Luis Gilberto Murillo, who served as foreign minister until late January, when…
Trump border Czar Tom Homan said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports” that Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) is being charged with assault because she put her hands on ICE officers and “forced” her way into a Newark ICE facility. Homan said, “They have a right to be there for oversight, but there’s a proper way to do it. Forcing your way into a facility, putting hands on an ICE officer, is not the way to do it. So I think she was out of line. I’ve seen the videotape. I’ve seen six or seven different videotapes that show her acting unprofessionally.”…
The bloc pledged emergency aid to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty after the outlet saw its funding cut under Trump The European Union has pledged €5.5 million in emergency funding to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) to prop up the Cold War-era broadcaster, which is widely regarded as a Western propaganda outlet.Originally created in the 1950s and covertly financed by the CIA to disseminate pro-Western narratives into the Soviet bloc, RFE/RL has more recently operated under the oversight of the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM). In March, President Donald Trump signed an executive order eliminating most of the agency’s funding…

President Donald Trump’s meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa — which featured a surprise video showing radical politicians calling for the murder of white Afrikaners — was “the most important thing to happen to South Africa since apartheid ended,” Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Joel Pollak said in a fiery Fox News interview. Ramaphosa, who called the 59 Afrikaner refugees “cowards” for “running away” to the United States earlier this month, was met with harsh reality when he met with Trump at the White House on Wednesday. During the meeting, Trump directed the South African delegation’s attention to a television…
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) called for anti-voyeur legislation during a hearing on Capitol Hill wherein she shared a blurred “naked silhouette” screenshot of herself being recorded without consent. Mace was chairing the House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on surveilling people in private spaces. “Freedom is not a theory. It is the right to breathe. It is the right to dress and undress, to sleep without someone’s camera filming your naked body. The Founders wrote liberty in parchment, but hidden cameras erase it in pixels,” Mace said. “I speak not just as a lawmaker, but as a survivor.” The congresswoman displayed…

Democrats are increasingly convinced that one of the reasons they lost the 2024 election is because they didn’t have their own Joe Rogan. It never seems to dawn on them that they used to have their own Joe Rogan. His name is Joe Rogan. Rogan has always been a man of the center-left, but he walked away in this cycle because the left basically drove him away. This is a common theme with Democrats. Years ago, they decided they needed their own Rush Limbaugh, which resulted in the failed Air America network. After losing the 2004 election, they decided they…
